Why haven't i been here for a while? LOL where do i start?
Seriously though same old same old,I am feeling way over whelmed and my stress is taking physical tolls..I am eventually going to see a dr as this is getting crazy, going to try other options 1st then if need be will do dr route.
I am short of breath all day all night,exhausted and severe pains in back chest ribs and occasionally abdomen,dizzy spells nausea etc....I do NOT have depression thank the lords,so no need for meds for that..I am on ginsing and multivitamins,but need to rule out low iron and or low blood sugar etc.
Anyways moving on..I am overwhelmed and over my head..Had HUGE blow out with my son this morning..He is 12 and REALLY a botton pusher calls me names and insults me and so on..As well as breaking things he broke the broom by repeadidly banging it on the chair and it broke(the handle)
He was also kicking in the wall and punching the wall and throwing things around the room,screaching etc..
He is my ex's child(tho not biologically)and acts as he saw his father do..
Anyways i am not one for whining so will not do it now..
I am just tired,confused overwhelmed and STRESSED..I need a break so bad and my daughter's sweet 16 is this weekend..I will be taking her and my other daughter(gaby) to the spa for girl day and then to lunch and movie and dinner at Boston Pizza.
I am really hoping to relax on Sat(when I am doing all this) and ya know "zone" a little bit..
Anyways as i said I am not one to whine or complain..
But life is seriously confusing to me right now..Somethings are not,couldn't be more clear and others are confusing..
For example the Secret well and good and yeah i have read parts and am a fan BUT,I cannot embrace it totally..For example this morning in local news a man holding his baby daughter(1 yr old) were attcked by bear mace and hammers.
During a hotel robbery(they were innocent bystanders)The baby Goddess bless her, is ok and so is daddy both in hosp but will survive..
BUT according to the secret the sweet baby asked for this on herself and he did too..i DO not agree and can't..She got the FULL potent mace in her face and mouth.
I am trying daily as a single momma to do the best i can and struggling with bills and temper tantrums and physical ailments and i am falling short..I am doing all I can and it still seems to be not enough..
Anyways I am here I am ok,just REALLY exhausted and stressed and ready to throw in the towel.
